Lions vs. Raiders: How to watch, kickoff, TV schedule, roster moves and more

In Week 8, the Detroit Lions (5-2) will host a game on “Monday Night Football” for the first time since Week 1 of the 2018 season. This week’s opponent is the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4), and while the folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook have projected the Lions to be big favorites, coach Dan Campbell is preparing for a tough game.

“This is a dangerous team. They’ve got weapons. This (Raiders’ WR Davante Adams) 17, (WR Jakobi Meyers) 16, that tight end (Michael Mayer), obviously (RB Josh) Jacobs, (EDGE Maxx) Crosby as a game-wrecker. So, we’ve got our hands full. We’ve got to bounce back, but we will. We’ll be ready to go.”
